Gentleman...thanks for the heads up! I got "lucky" on Auction Arms yesterday and picked up a beatup-looking 4046 for only $275. There was marring in different places, the night sights are dead and the grip was roughed up with a crack...either a former gangbanger's piece or a cop who just didn't take good care of it. Either way, its mine now and I have to wait for it to show up. I'm thinking a new Houge grip, some TLC polishing with Comet and some good automotive touchup paint will restore the sights to make her much more presentable. Bought it from Superpawn in Vegas, so you don't get a shooting test evaluation...all they'll tell you is it functions. So, I'll come back on the forum after I do the clean up and test fire her. Bottom line, you can sometimes get good deals on AA if you're careful and know what you're doing. Thanks again...
